Feeding the Cows

 When some friends of ours went out of town for spring break we fed their cows for them.  The kids were very excited when Ryan told them they would be responsible to feed the baby calves.  

There were 4 babies so all four kids bottle fed the calves for the week.  Bowen just supervised.

It was a fun experience for all of us!

Back At It

 We're back!  Spring sprung and we've been staying plenty busy so I have all kinds of pictures to share.  Here are some of Bowen. 

These are good ones because his forehead is bruise-free.  It seems he is always bonking his little noggin on something. 

He is growing up so fast and getting into everything! 

Happy Baking

I made zucchini bread today. I cracked the eggs in the bowl and then poured in the oil. When I looked down this is what I saw . . .

Made me smile!

Saturday Basketball

Alaina is playing basketball for the first time this year. She has really enjoyed learning the game and has improved so much. She played two games today and it was so fun to watch her go after the ball more than she ever has before. She even made 2 points! There she goes, dribbling the ball down the court.

You can tell she loves it by the smile on her face!

Happy Birthday Lila!

Lila is seven. Already.

Seven seems way too old for Lila to be. Wouldn't you agree?

We skipped school on Lila's birthday to go to Seaside.

The kids were excited about that.

The weather was perfect. It was just like spring. So excited about that!

We played in the sand. Bowen was excited about that.

It was the first time in his young life that he was allowed to stick his fingers in the sand. Quite exhilarating.

He toddled all around that sand until he was all tired out.

Then we took Lila home for some cake and ice cream. It was a fun day.

Happy Birthday, sweet Lila! We love you!!

Mashed Potatoes

Someone had a little too much fun eating his mashed potatoes.

Yay for the 100th Day!!

The kids celebrated the 100th day of school in the middle of February.

Rylan and Bowen were excited and they don't even go to school yet!
